Hello blog fans!
I'm glad you're here today.
Today I'm showing you a little gift I made for my
98 yr old Aunt Marilyn.
Here's a picture of my sweet Aunt Marilyn.
Looks great and wouldn't guess she's 98 yrs. old.
Looks great and wouldn't guess she's 98 yrs. old.
She lives in a nursing home in North Carolina
and I haven't been able to see her for over 2 yrs.
She loves having pictures of our family, so
I made this little folder to send her some
I made this little folder to send her some
family pictures in.
I started with 2 envelopes.
These are 5 3/4 x 8 3/4 so I would be able to send
5x7 pictures. You can make this with any
sized envelope you have.
I then slid one flap inside the other envelope and
sealed the one on the back outside.
Don't seal the one going inside the envelope,
you can, however glue that flap in place if you want to.
Once they are together, all you need to do is
decorate your folder.
I decided to cut away part of the inside to make it easier
for Aunt Marilyn to pull the pictures out.
The piece inside is simply a sheet of light weight
card stock, slipped in. No gluing needed for that piece.
I think it turned out great and it makes a nice
safe place to keep photos and/or letters.
Here's one of the pictures of the family that I sent
to her. This was taken on St. Patrick's day 2021.
Thanks for stopping in today and spending a little time
with me. I hope you'll give this little project a try, it makes
a nice little holder for any pictures you want to give someone.
And it's quick and easy to make.
Come again soon,
until then,
share some memories with someone
you haven't seen for a while.
